    First day of college classes. Text from ds: "I know I am in the right field of study when I get excited just looking at the syllabi."

      I think he might have been, Sadie. All 3 of his M, TH classes are in his beloved School of International Service Building and he's already arranged to meet 2 of the professors because their research "sounds so cool." he read his syllabi and transferred everything to his calendar. Someone has taken my son.

    Dd just left for DC for an 8 week internship at the Smithsonian, and I'm a weeping mess. Gah, having adult children is so hard!

      It is such an exciting adventure for her. Knowing that, makes the letting go a little bit easier with time.

      For us, the AP exams were worth the time and $$. The skills and credit acquired make a huge difference.

      Good luck to your student. You'll soon be trading AP exams for college finals.

    Democracy Dies in Darkness. When fact becomes opinion, and opinion becomes taboo, ignorance prevails.

      I would think that when opinion becomes "fact," ignorance prevails?

    Pro-tip: having a tooth extraction and a new roof put on the house the same day isn't the best combination.

    1. swimmermom3

      swimmermom3

      They are pounding on my roof as I write this. I couldn't imagine having a tooth extraction at the same time. The noise is deafening and the house shakes.

      Are you kidding? I've thought all year that somehow Portland and San Diego traded weather, but tornados?! Stay safe and keep us posted.

    Took ds, 17, to see opening night of Woolf's Orlando. Second nude scene this school year. Yay! Score one for mom!

      It's the story of our homeschooling career. During the first year, the boys informed dh that "gladiator" had a phallic meaning, according to the Time/Life documentary we had watched that day.

    I think the roofers think we are crazy for being home and studying/working during this project.

    1. swimmermom3

      swimmermom3

      Can I ask what roof you decided on? We are in the middle of looking at bids.

    Not doing a darn thing for July 4th. Raining, too. Feeling a little like a missed an opportunity!

    1. swimmermom3

      swimmermom3

      Chris, you must have Oregon's rain. We are wrapping up our second week of 90+ weather and we are finding it makes things just as hard to do as the rain. I hope you still have a good Fourth!

      So you are the one who has our rain. The hot spell here is unheard of.
